Hawkins Futura 2.5 Litre Deep Fry Pan, Hard Anodised Kadai with Stainless Steel Lid, Flat Bottom Induction Kadhai, Black (IAD25S)

I waited to write the review to first try and see it for myself.! I am really pleased with this cooking pan.! It is well made, strong and appropriate for most cooking. Heats up well and if you use well nothing sticks to it. You just use a bit of oil or butter and stir it well for sticking-free cooking.! If someone is looking for a better alternative for a nonstick and harmful coating free pan, this is the one to go for.! Overall it's a great buy and I can recommend it with confidence.!

The coating peeled off in the first cook

I love it. Size is perfect, its heat resistant and easy to clean

This hard anodized kadai is always better than non-stick kadai in the market. Because of its flat bottom for Induction cooking purposes, you have to pour more oil on it than round bottom kadai for frying and cooking. But hard anodized cookware whether it is flat bottom or round bottom is always better than non-stick cookware according to me. Yes, you have put some pressure to clean it with vim gel and scotch brite.

This new addition to my kitchen is fabulous! It is a delight to cook in this pan on the induction cook-top. As a precaution consider not to use metallic Palta/Turner/Khunti/Spatula/Slotted Spatula with this pan - prefer to use wooden or silicone/rubber Turners/Spatula etc.
